Is there any communication in the Box Office

[Eagle]

Well is there.
I have rung several times this week regarding tickets for Blackburn.
First i was told Thursday this week, then Saturday, then Monday, then Sunday, then back to Monday. This wasn't from the same person either!
I finally rang again this morning to find out when they are going on sale and the girl told me Monday and then my mate rang me and said they are definately going on sale on Sunday at the Open Day.
So which day is it Box Office, Sunday or Monday, make up your minds, there are plenty of us who want tickets for this fixture.

The Box Office now have the Blackburn tickets. They were on sale today, and will also be available at the Open Day tomorrow.

Conversation between me and box office person (BOP) yesterday:

ME: "Two adult tickets for Blckburn"
(BOP runs off and gets tickets, returned with one)
BOP: "That's £17 please"
ME: "I asked for two"
(BOP runs off and gets another ticket)
BOP: "One adult & one child is that?"
ME: "No, Two adults"
BOP: "£34 please"
(hands over CP Mastercard)
BOP: "Oh!"
(BOP turns to person serving next to her, and asks how to use the swipe machine - proceeds to do it wrong 3 times before other person comes and shows them how to use it)
ME: "Do you know when the Cardiff home game tickets go on sale?"
BOP: "No"
ME: Has the date of the Cardiff home leg been fixed yet?
BOP: "No"
ME: What about the away game?"
BOP: "No"
(By this stage I'd sussed out that she was new and probably didn't know, so ...)
ME: "Can you ask one of your colleagues if they know please?"
BOP: "No, look we are really busy today"
(Okay fair enough, so I turned to leave and find there was NO-ONE in the queue behind me!).

I left it ... I just wish Simon Jordan had been a fly on the wall at that moment ...

The first Club official I bumped into thereafter was able to confirm that the Cardiff home game is Weds 23/8/00 and the away game is Tues 5/9/00.

did anyone else apart from skate and me get their name taken when they bought their blackburn ticket??

think it's a good idea if they are keeping a note of who's going - or was it just that we looked like hooligans or something!!

I was also asked for my name when i bought my Blackburn tickets.
The woman in the Box Office just said it was because i didn't have my season ticket they put my name into the computer and all my details come up on screen saying wether i'm a season ticket holder and now have a membership number so they can put it on the tickets or something like that.
It's for their reference apparently

In defence of the Box Office, I must say that when I telephoned for my QPR tickets on Monday, I was dealt with by a very pleasant sounding "older" lady. Less than 22 hours after the call, I received the tickets. On the telephone, she asked for my name and as soon as I gave it, she told me my address which I thought was very impressive.

She also said "Blimey, that's the third lot of tickets today I've sold down to Cornwall"!

Who are these other "Cornish" fans? Any other Cornwall dwellers read the BBS?

After your defence of English hooligans travelling abroad during Euro 2000 on here I'm not surprised they asked for your name as I reckon they've got you sussed and you're on their list of suspects. As for Skate, her powerful orange fleece is so lethal it can knock down a bloke who's seven foot tall so I'm not surprised they've got her on the list too. http://www.cpfc.org/ubb/supergrin.gif
